Teams is a shim on top on Outlook Groups and SharePoint. It’s kind of a brilliant approach, as it allowed them to ship without needing to reinvent the security model, ediscovery, etc.

The downside is that it is clunky. But even then, it’s exponentially better than native SharePoint, WebEx, etc.

Over time, I’m sure they’ll do what they did with “OneDrive for Business” and build services over time to replace or augment that underlying stuff. OneDrive was a turd a 6–8 years ago but got much better about 2 years ago and seems to get incrementally better.
